Story4.5 out of 5 stars 54
Meet the good egg. He’s a verrrrrry good egg indeed. But trying to be so good is hard when everyone else is plain ol’ rotten. As the other eggs in the dozen behave badly, the good egg starts to crack from all the pressure of feeling like he has to be perfect. So, he decides enough is enough! It’s time for him to make a change.... Jory John hatches a funny and charming story that reminds us of the importance of balance, self-care, and accepting those who we love (even if they are sometimes a bit rotten).

Beautiful story
I have the hard copy, but it feels so personal hearing it from the authors voice. He did such a beautiful job. My son and i listened to the story and aside from him wanting cotton candy pancakes, he overall understood the message coming from the story. Please be kind to one another, one act of kindness can go a very long way.

Although I’m Matthew’s fan from Taiwan, who mainly speaks mandarin, I can totally understand the story and even be touched by it. I love it when Matthew changes his voice to play different characters. I believe that everyone will enjoy this great book——Rumple Buttercup.

MGG is one of the greatest human souls in existence! From his work as Spencer Reid on Criminal Minds to 68 Kill he puts so much time and effort into everything he does. This book makes everyone feel welcome and find courage to be themselves. I’m 17 and I have to admit it’s one of the greatest books I’ve ever read! So thank you Matthew Gray Gubler for everything you have done for this world we truly do not deserve you.

This was a heartwarming, if short, story. It is a great story for children about acceptance, of both yourself and others. Matthew does a wonderful job narrating and switching up voices for all the characters. I thoroughly enjoyed it
